Win the game. Lose your heart.
Everyone knows who I am and that I could have any female fan I want. That's supposed to be the "perk" of playing left field for the Boston Renegades. But I don't want just any woman; I want her.

She should be just another face in the crowd, but I can't stop thinking about the one night we spent together-and her look of regret the morning after.

Because Saylor Blackwell is the kind of woman who haunts a man. Smart, sexy as hell, and one of the best managers in the business. She's every ballplayer's dream woman. And I'd do anything to make things right with her.

I'm done sitting on the bench when it comes to Saylor Blackwell. Time to swing for the fences.

At first, Six is unwilling to accept Louisa as his client. But soon he realizes that the danger is real and that there’s much more to this plain-Jane scientist…including a burning passion between them that neither of them can resist. And now that an enemy is on Louisa’s trail, Six will do whatever it takes to protect her―or die trying.

I have been away from this blog for a while and I apologize for that. I left the blog alone and abandon for a while but that is now over and you will slowly start to see this blog come back to life. I needed time to sort through other things and I was going to use this blog for YA Only when I first started it but that is now changing you will find anything and everything you can find at my other blogs Read Between the Lines (my main blog), Twisted Sisters Book Club (ran by a group of ladies for the purpose of sharing reviews) and Nerdy Books Dragon Realm (this blog is ran with Mellena from The Book Quarry). For a moment, things got out of hand trying to cater to just one genre on this blog (it is now a rare occasion when I do YA Only Material) when there are so many genres I enjoy. I know it has been a few years since I have been away, but I never forgot my reading family and my love for books on this particular blog. I am just ready to embark on new and exciting stories, new content and authors on A Dance in the Dark.
I wanted to take this time to thank everyone that has stuck around while I was gone. I really appreciate your dedication to A Dance in the Dark and I look forward to the beginning of the next chapter for this blog.

A Dance in the Dark has been redone with a new theme and header and will no longer cater to YA Only Titles. I hope you will continue to stick with me while I reinvent A Dance in the Dark: Romance in all forms...
